The Max Rack 2.0 from Ranger Design is designed for carrying extension ladders and stepladders for high-roof cargo vans. The loading and unloading process is a smooth, single-stage operation that drops the ladder down to the right height. The single-stage drop removes the need to stand below the ladder while it lowers. Bidirectional dampers in the rack’s mechanism ensure a smooth operation both to raise the ladder and to lower it. A reduced profile diminishes chances of catching any low-hanging objects such as drive-through signs or tree branches. The rack is made from military-grade aluminum to remove the chance for rust or corrosion. 800-565-5321; www.rangerdesign.com.
